12 ounce package of extra firm tofu, cut into four slabs
Instructions
Whisk together achiote powder, cayenne pepper and
sugar. Sprinkle the salt over the garlic, smash it
with your knife, and mince it into a paste. Add
this to the achiote mixture along with the lemon
juice. Whisk until combined.
Place the tofu into an 8x8 baking dish and pour
achiote marinade over the tofu-flip it, flop it...
make sure you get coverage on all sides. I rub
the marinade into the tofu a bit. Place in the
refrigerator for at least one hour, if I remember
I'll flip the tofu once or twice along the way.
Place the tofu on a medium hot grill. Brush the
top of each piece of tofu with some of the
leftover achiote marinade, grill until the tofu is
golden on the bottom with nice grill marks (rotate
the tofu 90 degrees halfway through the grilling
of each side to get those nice marks). Flip, cook
the other side, brush the side facing up with more
leftover marinade, and cook until the bottom is
golden as well. Remove and serve over a salad, on
a bun with all the fixings, or any other way you
can think of .
